Chapter 164
Enzo kept his eyes trained on Nathaniel Brooks so he caught the resolution in his eyes. He didn’t say anything else and merely looked into Nathaniel Brooks’ eyes. Nathaniel Brooks was uncomfortable with the way Lorenzo was watching him. His gaze was filled with helplessness and disappointment. However, he didn’t have a choice. He figured that since Lorenzo had already tracked down his family, he was probably already privy to much information. So, he allowed himself to drop the mask of anger as he looked at Lorenzo, revealing his guilt and regret. Lorenzo didn’t know what was happening, but he heard the officials approaching from the sound of their footsteps. Keeping his expression calm, he looked at Professor Nathaniel Brooks and said, "They're here. I'll go with them." Nathaniel Brooks stared at his favorite student. As he watched Lorenzo leave, he knew that this was the end of their relationship. Lorenzo could sense that Nathaniel Brooks still had plenty to say to him. So,
Chapter 163
"You know, that reminds me—I was there when it happened. Mia definitely detested Lorenzo, but here she is, coming to university with him. It must be because of his sudden wealth.” “I would never have expected her to be someone like that. She’s the third prettiest woman in our university!” A man standing silently nearby suddenly said, “I have a different point of view. If even someone like Mia’s starting to hang around him, just think about how rich he really is!” Lorenzo stopped walking and put a hand in his pocket. An ugly look crept onto his face. He didn’t understand why Mia had fled earlier, but he now did. Once rumors started flying around about them, it wouldn’t be an easy feat to prove their innocence. So he needed to clear the air, so he blurted out so everyone could hear. “I’m chasing Mia. We’re not officially together yet, but I hope you don’t spread misinformation.” After that, he turned and left without a care. As for the three guys that had been speaking earli

Lorenzo’s first thought was to nod in agreement. But before he could do so, his gaze swept over a clock on the wall. It was already 3:00 a.m. By the time they were done eating, they would probably have two hours to rest. There really wasn’t much point in having Mia leave at this time. So, he said, “You can choose to stay since we’ll need to leave in about two hours.” Mia blushed. She looked around, then lowered her head to look at the floor. “Okay. I’ll sleep on the sofa.” Lorenzo frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her suggestion. “I may not be the perfect gentleman, but I won’t allow a woman to sleep on the sofa.” He then turned to walk to the sofa, but he heard Mia running after him. He stopped and turned around to face her. Her face was red with agitation. “Please, let me sleep on the sofa. I’m here to repay you for saving my family’s company, so there’s no way I’ll let you sleep there.” Lorenzo glanced at the clock and decided not to argue with her anymore. “As you w

Mia opened the door, still caught up in her thoughts. When she saw the woman standing there, her eyes widened in shock. It was Rosalie, and she was holding a tray. She was a little unhappy to see the beautiful and attractive Mia, but she soon shook it off. She knew her place. Lorenzo would always be out of her league and more like someone for her to worship. Rosalie smiled calmly and said, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t realize there was someone else here. I’ll prepare another set for you.” Mia was angry when she first saw Rosalie. After all, it wasn’t appropriate for a woman to knock on a man’s door in the middle of the night. However, she didn’t expect Rosalie only to be here to deliver food. She felt a trace of regret for her thoughts. She quickly held up a hand to stop Rosalie from leaving. “I’m just here to take care of Lorenzo, so there’s no need to prepare anything for me.” Rosalie looked surprised. However, she quickly regained her composure and passed the tray to Mia. “I’ll have t

Mia wasn’t sure of what was happening. She stood up and walked to the study, seeing Lorenzo’s fingers fly over the keyboard so quickly that she could barely see them. She leaned against the door, unable to stop herself from laughing. “Do you need my help? I’m willing to help you because of the favor you did for my family.” The only reply she got was the clicking of the keyboard’s keys. Lorenzo didn’t even spare her a glance, let alone answer her. It made her feel a little awkward. She finally walked over to him. She looked at the monitor and said, “To repay your kindness, I’ll stay here with you until you’re done with your dissertation.” Only then did Lorenzo look up at her, his eyes frosty. “I’m busy now, so please remain silent. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee I’ll be as mild-mannered as I am right now.” This was the first time someone had spoken to her like that. A hint of displeasure flashed across her face, but it quickly disappeared. If she were in his shoes, she’d be ann

Lorenzo took the key. “Thank you.” Before heading to his Apartment. Just as he thought he would soon be at his apartment, he heard someone call his name. The voice was a little familiar, but it hadn’t left a deep enough impression for him to remember. He stopped and turned in the direction the voice had come from to see a beautiful woman standing there. He recognized her—she was Mia Gomez, a gorgeous woman in his university who had once helped get their family business back by investing in their company. He put his hands in his pockets and watched as she approached him, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. Lorenzo narrowed his eyes. She was attractive, but perhaps her beauty would work better on someone else. He moved his gaze from her chest to her face and asked, “Do you have something you need me for?” Mia didn’t answer him. She was still wondering why he hadn’t shown any reaction to her body and had even averted his gaze so quickly. However, it wasn’t a que
